Advice about quitting...

[dragongrrrl]

So I'm going to turn in my two weeks notice tomorrow at my office-bitch job so I can start a new job. I've never quit a job before, and i'm quite terrified. I have no idea what to say. Anybody have any advice?

I'm sorry but I have no advice really becasue I've never quit either. I think yu should just say your moving on to bigger and better things. Ahh...I don't know.

Write a resignation letter and be professional, you never know if you may need these people again.

Thanks! Just to make things even more awkward, my supervisor just scheduled an appointment with me for my 1 year review for tomorrow.

i totally agree w/ crank - absolutely be professional and CONCISE

i've never written a resignation letter, but try to focus on the positive, such as anything you've learned while working there, good project experiences, skills you've learned

congrats for u girl. much luck on new endeavors!

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

Put that in an envelope and walk out.

Every time I've quit a job I was moving on to something better - so I think the people understood. I guess I would be prepared to answer questions, remain neutral and don't take anything personal. Be honest, but don't burn any bridges. My resignation letters have always been more of a paperwork formality, so I don't have much advice there.

GL!
